513 Don’t Accept It
With Chu Yan around, she could sleep in peace.
In a daze, she heard Chu Yan’s deep voice. “I will make them pay double of what they took away. I promise.”
...He held Liu Sanniang’s hand and gently squeezed her palm.
Su Yanyu brought General Black over the next day.
He also brought a lot of expensive tonics. Seeing Chu Yan’s indifferent expression, he smiled awkwardly. “Damn those two old things, Xu Ran and Xu Qing! They actually dared to hurt Miss Liu. I won’t let them off. These are all nourishing tonics. I don’t know if they will help…”
Facing Chu Yan, even the smooth-talking Su Yanyu stammered.
Su Yanyu wanted to go in and check in on Liu Sanniang, but he held back from doing so. He knew that Chu Yan was Liu Sanniang’s fiancé.
He had yet to be accepted by Liu Sanniang as her disciple. It was not appropriate for him to go in like this.
Chu Yan reached out and touched General Black. “Sanniang needs to recuperate for a while. I don’t have time to take care of it. I’ll leave it to you.”
Su Yanyu was stunned. “What?”
Then, he patted his chest in ecstasy and promised. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of General Black. It even saved my life. General Black is now my big brother.”
Chu Yan said flatly, “Go back.”
Su Yanyu brought General Black back in a delightful mood.
In the carriage, Su Yanyu stroked General Black’s fur and said happily, “Do you think Young Master Chu treats me differently? I think my path of becoming Miss Liu’s disciple is one step closer.”
Su Yanyu had sent Liu Sanniang a lot of expensive tonics. Mrs. Su and Marquis Su wanted to give him a good beating. At this point, Su Yanyu and Liu Sanniang were at most friends, but he was practically emptying the house and giving everything to Liu Sanniang, as if he was afraid that people wouldn’t know that he was friends with Liu Sanniang.
Su Yanyu did not care. He wanted to enter the storeroom, and the butler had to open it for him…
When Marquis Su and Mrs. Su blamed him, the butler knelt down and cried. “I really have no choice. Madam, please take back the key…”
Mrs. Su was speechless.
Marquis Su was speechless too.
Forget it, forget it.
In September, Liu Sanniang received a letter from her family.
She sat in the courtyard and smelled a strong fragrance from the kitchen. Liu Sanniang ate the pastries as she read the letter.
In the letter, Madam Wei said that Liu Erlang and Ye Niuniu’s marriage was a done deal and they got engaged on the 15th of August. She asked Liu Sanniang if she was doing well. Not long ago, Lord Li brought Su Xiaowu to the Liu family and went back after dinner. Everything was fine at home. Madam Wei told Liu Sanniang not to worry about them and asked if General Black had grown any bigger.
The ink was thicker in some places, almost smudged, and as Liu Sanniang read, tears welled up in her eyes.
Madam Wei talked about some family matters. Then, she mentioned Liu Zhi’er. She said that Liu Zhi’er got engaged on the second day of August. Her fiance was a scholar in Ling County and was very compatible with Liu Zhi’er.
After reading the letter, she began to write a letter in reply.
She told Madam Wei that she was fine and General Black had grown bigger, and sent her best wishes to Liu Erlang and Liu Zhi’er. She placed some talismans in the envelope and sealed it with wax.
Back in the room, she placed the envelope in a small box in the cabinet. There was another box in the small box. She picked it up and opened it. Two black beads were lying inside. One belonged to Yuan Hui and the other to Hui Zhen.
She closed the box and put it back.
Without needing Chu Yan to call her, she went to sit down obediently in the dining room.
Xu Ran and Xu Qing did injure her, but she recovered very quickly. Recalling what Xu Ran and Xu Qing said, Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but frown.
Chu Yan reached out and held Liu Sanniang’s chin up.
Liu Sanniang was puzzled.
“Drink another bowl of soup.”
Chu Yan retracted his hand and scooped a bowl of soup for her.
Chu Yan seemed to know what Liu Sanniang was thinking and didn’t want her to be troubled by it.
The soup was delicious and warmed her stomach, making all her worries go away.
After dinner, Liu Sanniang held Chu Yan’s hand. “Chu Yan.”
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and asked in a low voice. “Huh?”
Liu Sanniang cleared her throat. “I want to go see Xia Qiluo.”
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and did not respond.
Chu Yan looked displeased, but Liu Sanniang had a feeling that if she begged a little bit more, Chu Yan would definitely agree!
Imitating Chu Yan, Liu Sanniang squeezed his palm. “Can I?”
Chu Yan gulped. He slowly leaned towards Liu Sanniang. Without any warning, he kissed her lips.
Liu Sanniang could feel the passion and aggressiveness in Chu Yan’s kiss. It seemed like he wanted to eat her up.
When he let go of her, he said in a hoarse voice, “Sure.”
Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand and kept squeezing her hand, from her palm to her fingers. He did not let go until they entered the palace.
After the palace servant reported that Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were here, Xia Qiluo decided to meet them.
She really did not understand why Liu Sanniang suddenly wanted to see her. At the thought of Liu Sanniang, she gritted her teeth in anger.
But if she refused to see her, she would look narrow-minded.
She sat high in the main hall with her head raised arrogantly. When she saw the two of them walk in, her eyes darkened. Looking at them holding hands, her anger completely suppressed her rationality. She asked coldly. “What are you doing here?”
Liu Sanniang focused her mind as she looked at Xia Qiluo, but there seemed to be a secret technique on Xia Qiluo, making Liu Sanniang unable to read her face.
Xia Qiluo frowned. She hated it when Liu Sanniang looked at her like this. “What are you doing here? If you don’t have anything to say, please leave.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Qiluo. “Don’t accept it.”
Xia Qiluo frowned. “What did you say?”
Liu Sanniang said again, “Don’t accept it.”
Xia Qiluo burst into anger. “Who do you think you are? Do you think I won’t accept it just because you tell me not to? Liu Sanniang, I hate you, do you know that?”
Xia Qiluo’s heart ached, and a bloody taste surged in her throat.
Xu Qing and Xu Ran walked quickly into the main hall and held Xia Qiluo anxiously. Xu Ran tapped her chest twice before Xia Qiluo calmed down.
